On dark country roads, animals are everywhere. An encounter between wildlife and
your car can be devastating—to you, the beastie, and certainly your vehicle. But
here's a trick: You can often see the reflections of your headlights in an
animal's eyes long before you can see the animal itself. Pairs of tiny bright
spots in the distance are a clear warning that an animal is in front of you down
the road.

The best strategy when encountering large animals like deer:
Slow down as quickly as you can. If you try to steer around a deer, they often
will follow your lights and move in front of you.
